Romeo Void lead singer Debora Iyall wrote the lyric with her best friend in mind, but it also relates to her life, serving as a pep talk to let her know that trouble will always pass.\n\nIyall says the song is also a reaction to the Michael Jackson song \"Billie Jean,\" addressing the woman in the song (Billie Jean) - the girl Jackson keeps telling \"the kid is not my son.\"\n\nMost people hear that song and think of Billie Jean as an opportunist, but Iyall thinks she's the victim, pregnant with the potential father (Jackson) denying his paternity instead of offering support.\n\nhttps://www.songfacts.com/facts/romeo-void/a-girl-in-trouble-is-a-temporary-thing", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
